Special Session OrganizersProf. Jan KowalskiDepartment of Information SystemsWroclaw University of Technology, PolandE-mail: Prof. Adam NovakElectrical and Computer Engineering DepartmentUniversity of New Hampshire, USAE-mail: Objectives and topicsEnsemble methods have gained great attention of scientific community over the last several years. Multiple models have been theoretically and empirically shown to provide significantly better performance than their single base models. Ensemble algorithms have found their application in various real word problems ranging from person recognition through medical diagnosis and text classification to financial forecasting. The EAML 2018 Special Session at the 10th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2018) is devoted to the ensemble methods addressing classification, prediction, and clustering problems and their application to Big Data and small data sets as well as data streams and stationary data sets. We want to offer an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to identify new promising research directions as well as to publish recent advances in this area. The scope of the EAML 2018 includes, but is not limited to the following topics:

SubmissionAll contributions should be original and not published elsewhere or intended to be published during the review period. Authors are invited to submit their papers electronically in pdf format, through EasyChair. All the special sessions are centralized as tracks in the same conference management system as the regular papers. Therefore, to submit a paper please activate the following link and select the track: EAML 2018: Special Session on Ensemble Approach to Machine Learning.

Authors are invited to submit original previously unpublished research papers written in English, of up to 10 pages, strictly following the LNCS/LNAI format guidelines. Authors can download the Latex (recommended) or Word templates available at Springer's web site. Submissions not following the format guidelines will be rejected without review. To ensure high quality, all papers will be thoroughly reviewed by the EAML 2018 Program Committee. All accepted papers must be presented by one of the authors who must register for the conference and pay the fee. The conference proceedings will be published by Springer in the prestigious series LNCS/LNAI (indexed by ISI CPCI-S, included in ISI Web of Science, EI, ACM Digital Library, dblp, Google Scholar, Scopus, etc.).
